Measure from the edge of the last tile in a course to the corner. The last step is to hit all the cut surfaces and sharp corners with a 60 grit diamond hand pad before installation. On the contrary if you have to install cut tiles you should spread the thinset to the back of the tiles and install it with the cut edge pointing towards the inside corner. After i get the miter close with the diamond blade i switch to a 200 grit polishing pad which offers more control as i sneak up on the perfect miter.

Pull the angle grinder carefully along the cut line to score the tile. Cut a tile at that width on your tile cutter. Cut all the way through the trim to create the corner angle. Use a spray bottle to wet the tile with water to reduce dust.
